Message from the President

Happy November, Cougars! A huge round of applause goes to all the volunteers who came together to make Hands on Science happen. From sorting materials to leading lessons, your time and energy were essential in making this program a success. Although parents may not be able to see classrooms now, several room reps and teachers are taking time to decorate their classroom doors. This helps create a warm and festive environment at school. At the end of last month, we acknowledged and celebrated our fabulous principals as October is National Principal’s Appreciation month. I think we can all agree that their leadership and warm personalities create an exceptional culture at CWE. Dr. Bogle, Ms. Snyder, and Ms. Parra are all on my list of things to be thankful for! I hope you all enjoy a safe and delicious Thanksgiving break!

-Lisa Rasmussen, PTA President

Congratulations to Andreas Berghoefer on being named Volunteer of the Month for September! Andy led the Cougar Pride Drive. His enthusiasm and hard work helped us reach our financial goal. We are so appreciative of all the parents who donated, and we are so grateful for Andy being willing to spearhead that effort! Thank you, Andy, for helping us get the funding we need for the programs that make Commonwealth so special!
